Arsenal Match Centre Archives: 11/2016

It’s unusual to come across a goal scoring and assist stat that doesn’t involved Mesut Ozil but here we are.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has aimed a dig at Premier League officials after he picked up his fifth yellow card of the season meaning he will miss the showdown with Arsenal at Old Trafford after the international break.

Arsenal should have been out of sight by halftime in the north London derby, so how did Spurs end up with a draw?

On Matchday 18 of the FA WSL season, Arsenal Ladies gained revenge against the team that eliminated them from the runners-up and last Champions League place with a 5-3 away win, but it was too little too late.

Despite all of the pre-match anticipation and excitement, the north London derby was not a memorable one for Arsenal. Arsene Wenger explains what went wrong.

Spin, deflection and misdirection are the order of the day for many interviews after a disappointing result, so how did Arsene Wenger do with his comments after Arsenal’s draw with Spurs?

Manchester United will have to face Arsenal without Zlatan Ibrahimovic although there are some wondering who this hurts the most.

The Guardian recently published a story about a Non-League game referee stopping a match after 13 minutes and abandoning it because a fan was moaning and questioning his decisions too much.

Yes, yes, I know, I’m only whinging about the referee because we didn’t win.

We may not have got the result that we wanted – nor the performance, but a couple of Arsenal players demonstrated some skills to show us they haven’t totally forgotten how to football now it’s November.

No, no, no, it wasn’t Kevin Wimmer, although he was up there with his excellent headed finish to give Arsenal the lead on Sunday.

Mesut Ozil grabbed another assist on Sunday against Tottenham as he floated in the ball that Kevin Wimmer headed home beautifully.

Arsenal were well below par against Tottenham on Sunday and might think that a point was a decent result given how poor they were at times. Here’s how the players rated individually:

Calum Chambers may be on loan with Middlsbrough for the season but he did his best to help his parent club as they grabbed an unlikely draw at the Eithad on Sunday.

Since the final whistle (and during the game) there has been much whinging about Arsenal’s goal, which was scored by Tottenham’s Kevin Wimmer, with claims it was offside.

Edward Nketiah continued his impressive goalscoring run, netting his 8th goal of the u18 Barclays Premier League season – but it was not enough for Kwame Ampadu’s youngsters to secure all three points in a top-of-the-table clash with West Ham.

Arsene Wenger met with the press after his side’s 1-1 draw with Tottenham and challenged Mark Clattenberg’s decision to award them a penalty.

Arsenal had to be happy with just a point when they faced Tottenham at the Emirates on Sunday.

Shkodran Mustafi may be about to take part in his first north London derby, but he seems well aware of what it means (or, at least, his media people do).
